The Boston Celtics thumped the Golden State Warriors 128-95 in one of their best all-around performances of the season. After a string of miserable efforts against lowly teams, the Celtics showed their dominance against the defending champions on their home court. They played the right way, committed on the defensive end, and trusted one another to make the right play. This win was important, and could spark a run heading down the home stretch of the regular season.
I've been as frustrated as anyone with the Celtics this season, and especially over the past few weeks, but something about playing the reigning champs on national TV really gets the engine going.
